What a bitter sweet day it has been. I have packed almost everything up, shipped my tube of work home, and I leave this morning for Koh Phangan island off the coast of Thailand. What a month it has been! Looking back, the most amazing thing about the whole month was having the freedom to do my art day in and day out. What a blessing! My soul feels energized and renewed... There is something about the process of creation that feeds a part of me that nothing else can even touch. It's like adding logs to a fire, the more you add, the brighter it gets. I feel like I am burning bright!
Bali has been a beautiful place to be and has also been an interesting eye opener for me. While here, I have realized, surprisingly, that there are actually some wonderful things about my country that I had taken for granted. I wont miss the everlasting smell of burning plastic from the neighbors house nor the massage therapists that text while they work but I will miss the beauty that is overflowing here. Everywhere you turn there is another vista, an ornate temple, or an absolutely adorable little Balinese child the giggles with her brother at the tall blond as she says "Hello". It has been quite the oasis here at Bali Purnati. I have gotten used to this luxurious lifestyle and it will certainly be hard to leave. I am off to another paradise....
